Yo, burger fans! 🔥 Ever had an Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger? These bad boys are crispy, juicy, and loaded with caramelized onions.
It’s like the perfect burger hack, and I’m gonna show you how to make it right at home! Let’s gooo! 🍔✨
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 is best for juicy burgers) 🥩
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced 🧅
- Salt and pepper 🧂
- 4 slices of American cheese 🧀
- 4 burger buns 🍞
- Butter for toasting buns 🧈
- Pickles, ketchup, mustard (for toppings) 🥒🍅
Instructions:
1. Prep the Onions:
- Slice that onion super thin—like paper thin! These onions are gonna get all crispy and delicious. 🧅🔥
2. Shape the Beef:
- Divide the ground beef into 4 balls (about 1/4 lb each). Press them down into flat patties, but not too thin just yet.
3. Cook the Patties + Onions:
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place each patty on the hot skillet and immediately pile a handful of sliced onions on top. Press the onions into the beef and flatten the patty more. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start getting crispy.
4. Flip It:
- Flip the burger (onions down!) and cook for another 2 minutes. Let those onions caramelize and soak up all that burger flavor! Add a slice of cheese on top and let it melt. 🧀
5. Toast the Buns:
- While the burgers finish cooking, butter the buns and toast them on the skillet until golden and crispy.
6. Assemble:
- Place the onion burger on the toasted bun, and add pickles, ketchup, mustard, or whatever you love. 🥒🍅
7. Devour:
- That’s it! Time to dive into your crispy, cheesy Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger! 😍
